Second most brilliant news of the week. After almost a decade of no releases, my second fave band, the almighty FRONT 242 have a DVD out called, Speed-Tribe - 24 Heures Du Mans. Link below for those interested. Those who aren't, I don't care. I'm happy and that's all that matters. BWG :-] http://www.musicnonstop.co.uk/store/erol.html#1518x9335 i'd rather wait for the brand new single & album of underworld ( WITHOUT deejay darren emerson !!! ) to come out in sept. !!! *G+* ;-) i suppose that i'm much more delighted about their "stuff" ... like i almost always was in the past too !!! *BWG* ;-)))

my dear friend & very friendly & reasonable co-moderator of the kraftwerkfans group , john shilcock asked : > But do they normally? yep ... they do !!! ;-) fyi : ALL the "good news" about their latest concerts or releases were either stated @ their own official website & / or @ the emi music website about kw ... weeks or even months before the events or releases , so i suppose that it will be jus' the same this time too !!! *sly_grin* ;-) ... & before anybody of u says that the "zero landmine" contribution of kw wasn't stated @ any of their official sites or announced by any of their official sources , i can only add that this was ONLY a very small contribution to a project that wasn't even published by kw's record company ... but a possible live-dvd release will SURELY be published LOOONG_BEFORE it actually happens by their record company , if u know what i mean !? *slyest_grin* ;-))) however ... many greetinx again , oh jay ;-) *~\^/~*

Hi everyone! Of course they could pull the plug on it but I have a feeling they wont.. I was thinking about EXPO 2000 live.. Id love to hear that song live with the trancey bassline.. However I think it would be a con if they decided to play the same set they have played for the last 21 years.. NO BAND should get away with that, so I think there must be an album ready.

But we are talking Kraftwerk here. They can pull the plug at any minute. A very expensive risk for us living in America. Anyway, thanks to Nicolau Centola for the most exciting news about KW since the Landmine project. E ps: I don't see how can they fit Expo 2000 in their repertoire, specially been a jingle and all...
